Chapter 162 Go to Zhuangzi to calm down the incident
These books were all sent from the Duke's Mansion.
There is a letter in this book, which means that this letter is also from the Duke's Mansion.
Ji Chuhe bent down and picked up the envelope.
There was no seal and nothing was written on the envelope.
Not sure if it was a letter, maybe just some unwanted item that someone had casually slipped in.
After opening it, there was a piece of paper folded neatly inside.
Ji Chuhe handed the envelope to Nanny Ji and opened the paper.
After just a few glances, she immediately closed the paper.
"Miss, what does it say?"
"I accidentally peeked into other people's thoughts. What a sin, what a sin." Ji Chuhe quickly put the paper into the envelope and put it back in the book.
"Mammy, please put this book away. I'll come back to you for it when I need it."
"Okay, miss." Nanny Ji quickly put it away.
"Then I'm going to bed." Ji Chuhe turned and walked towards the bedroom. He was indeed a little tired today, so he decided not to stay up late to read.
Lying on the bed, Ji Chuhe couldn't help laughing out loud as he thought about what he had just seen.
This should be a piece of writing by a young lady from the Duke's Mansion about her own personal feelings. Somehow it was accidentally put into this book and sent to her in Huaiyang.
Anyone who can write these words must be an interesting person.
Ji Chuhe did not take this little episode to heart and did not tell anyone else. She thought that if she had the chance to visit the Duke's Mansion in the future, she could return the book to the young lady in person.
A good night's sleep.
Ji Chuhe sat in front of the dressing table, and Mianzhu gently did her makeup.
Her mind was full of thoughts.
If Xiao Yan'an's methods were swift and decisive enough, most of the people kept by Concubine Gao should have been arrested. Who knows, he might have obtained some useful clues.
"Madam, Aunt Qingluo is here." Xiangzhu came in to report.
"Please."
Qingluo walked in and bowed to Ji Chuhe, "Meet the Madam."
"Aunt Qingluo, please don't be polite. Why are you here so early today? Is it my mother who is looking for me?"
"Yes, the princess sent me here to tell you something. Last night, there was a conflict on the princess' farm and several people were injured. The farm manager was unable to handle the situation properly and rushed to the palace overnight to report the incident. The cause was a murder case that had just occurred on the farm. The tenants were very emotional and insisted that the palace give an explanation."
“With such a conflict, even if Uncle Hua goes there, he probably won’t be able to resolve it. But, we can’t let the Queen Dowager go there in person. I’d better go there to calm the tenants and calm the matter down.” Ji Chuhe made up his mind immediately.
"Then I will go and report to the princess. I will take my leave." Qingluo immediately retreated.
In fact, the princess also thought so.
She was not confident in the stewards chosen by Concubine Xu. If someone died again, it would be even more difficult to resolve.
Therefore, it is most appropriate for Ji Chuhe to take a trip.
"Mianzhu, comb your hair into a simple bun and pick out a plain, dark-colored piece of clothing." Ji Chuhe instructed softly.
"Yes." Mianzhu responded immediately.
Ji Chuhe was dressed and breakfast was ready.
"Madam, Aunt Dong wants to see you."
"Didn't I tell her to take good care of the baby? Why is she up so early?" As soon as Ji Chuhe finished speaking, Dong Ling walked in.
I haven't seen her for just a few days, but she looks a lot rounder and has more flesh on her cheeks. She looks like a pampered young lady in some wealthy family.
"Hello, Madam." Dong Ling stepped forward happily and bowed.
Seeing her lively complexion, Ji Chuhe swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Has Aunt Dong had breakfast yet?"
"not yet."
"Then let's go together."
"Thank you, ma'am!" Dong Ling sat down immediately, but still diligently picked up some food for Ji Chuhe first.
"Don't worry about me, just eat by yourself."
"Okay, ma'am." Dong Ling then started eating.
Ji Chuhe looked at her appetite and felt that she didn't look like a pregnant woman with such a good appetite!
"Dong Ling, you don't have any reaction?"
"Yes, I feel nauseous when I wake up in the morning. I vomited once. Sometimes I don't want to eat this or that."
Ji Chuhe looked at the bowls piled up in front of Dong Ling.
Does this mean you don’t want to eat this or that?
"However, the court doctor said that the child must eat more in order to grow well, so I have to eat even if I can't. If I vomit, I can eat again later! I'm not that squeamish! I want to give my wife a healthy, plump, white son!"
"You... still need to take care of yourself. Don't force yourself if you're not feeling well."
"No, ma'am, really, I don't force you at all." Dong Ling responded seriously.
"Okay, then you can eat slowly. There's no rush. You can eat more than one meal a day."
"Yeah." Dong Ling continued to eat with her head down.
He finished the big bowl of food in front of him, then fished out a few plums from his pocket and bit into them with a "crunch".
Ji Chuhe: ...
"Madam, isn't it strange? Ever since I became pregnant, I have especially wanted to see you, but you told me to take good care of the baby and not to walk around. I didn't dare to run to you every day. This morning, I missed you so much that I couldn't help but run here." Dong Ling looked at Ji Chuhe eagerly when she said this.
"Aunt Dong, please be careful with your words." Nanny Ji reminded her.
She felt that something was wrong with Aunt Dong.
Why is he so clingy to their young lady? He even misses her. He doesn't even treat the prince like this.
"Madam, what I said is true! As soon as I saw you, I felt relaxed all over, and the Ma Ma Xiang was delicious, and I didn't feel any morning sickness at all!"
Ji Chuhe couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Dong Ling was just showing her loyalty.
"Mammy, I will be leaving the house soon. You take Aunt Dong to my warehouse to pick out fabrics. As the month gets older, the clothes need to be remade. The weather is getting hotter, so they must be comfortable to wear. You also need to prepare the baby's things." Ji Chuhe ordered softly.
"Yes." Nanny Ji nodded in response.
"Madam, where are you going?" Dong Ling asked anxiously.
"I'm going to the concubine's farm. I may not be back until tomorrow."
"Ah? Madam, you are going to spend the night outside! I heard that the concubine's manor is a bit remote, thirty-four miles south of the town called Shilipu!"
“It’s not too biased.” Ji Chuhe took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth.
"Ma'am, can I...can I go with you?"
"Nonsense!" Ji Chuhe scolded lightly.
Dong Ling immediately lowered his head and dared not speak again.
"Mianzhu, go prepare the carriage." Ji Chuhe ordered.
"Yes." Mianzhu immediately went down to prepare.
Ji Chuhe went to see the princess again and then left the house.
The princess arranged two teams of guards to accompany her.
This is clear.
There is another team that transformed into ordinary people and provided secret protection.
Ji Chuhe and the princess were both on guard.
Concubine Gao is now like a cornered dog, and I'm afraid she will go crazy and bite people.
With so many escorts and guards, Ji Chuhe was not worried at all.
……
In the evening, Xiao Yan'an came out of the government office and went straight back to the palace.
As Ji Chuhe expected, useful clues were found from these people.
He planned to tell Ji Chuhe the news as soon as possible.
When I arrived at Liuhua Palace, I got the news that Ji Chuhe had left the palace and was heading to the Dowager Concubine's manor.
"How could you let Madam go by herself? Why didn't you tell me about this?" Xiao Yan'an's face was filled with worry. "Tianxi, prepare the horse for me!"
